In case you didn’t know, Milt was one of the Disney’s “Nine Old Men”. He was one of the major influences at the studio when it was cranking out some of the best animated features ever known. Milt had a reputation of being a mean son of a bitch, but that was because he set such high standards that even he himself failed to live up to them in his own eyes. Watch any of his interviews and you’ll see what I mean. Still, he is considered one of the best animators that ever walked the halls at Disney’s, and he animated an amazing amount of memorable characters. I get psyched when I see Milt’s pencil test. They’re so damned tight.

Here’s Medusa from “The Rescuers”. Its awesome.
